Just remove the hose that goes from each BoV to the CAC (turbo intake tube)... Be sure to cap the nipples left on the CAC.... Hi temp is the only requirement for the caps... I used silicon... others have had great luck with chair leg caps etc.

Really it's that easy... the rear one is hard to reach, but it's basically 4 hose clamps removed and 2 nipples capped. There are some pics in my hotpipe install thread that may help.  It's here: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,2248.msg32460.html#msg32460

Hope this helps.

I had VTA on my list prior to a tune, but after installing the tune, I can easily hear the blow off even with the valves in their stock recirculating setup. I do not have a modified air box, so I'm surprised that I can hear it after reading some of the comments in this thread. The sound is present with the daily driver tune (15psi) and the beast mode tune (18psi). Maybe I should VTA just for comparison's sake. It's pretty loud already...
 
With my intake system my VTA is pretty noticeable to the point where other drivers notice, the tune made it much more effortless to replicate at my disposal.
 
Just did this little mod on my 2011 PP, sounds great and very noticeable by other drivers, especially other drivers with turbos that have a BOV that VTA.  I used the rubber chair ends from Lowes, only 2 bucks and 5 mins to install.  This was way cheaper then spending the 200+ bucks for a BOV that I spent on my O6 Subaru STi.

THanks,

I've done this as well in the past few weeks. Capped them with the black chair leg caps...$2 at Lowes. Pulled the hose completely from the front one...for the back one, just pulled the intake side since the BOV side is hard to reach, and left the hose there.

I could hear it before with the Typhoon intake, but it's even more noticeable now, especially at lighter throttle. It's slightly louder, and maybe a little more raspy/higher pitched.

Same here... Did mine due to hotpipes. Used to go pfffft.... Now goes PFFFFT!
 
Just finished my BOV to VTA last night. Took about 45min due to lack of the right tool to get the hose off the back BOV. BUT, with much fiddling, swearing, and 1 cut knuckle.... my car goes PPPPFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!! just waiting to see how bad my gas mileage is because every time it goes, i giggle and smile like a 2 year old....

The pita part is putting back that rear hose,next time just remove one section and cap off the port,easier that way if you need to put it back down the road for dealer service,good luck.

While anything could happen... I had a valve cover gasket leak and had the dealer replace it with my hotpipes in place.... No hose to reconnect they had to R&R the charge system to do it.  The dealer got it back perfectly and called it "air in - air out" change with no problem.... Again, anything could happen
 
Quick question going along with the VTA mod. This is my first turbo vehicle i've owned. Should I be concerned with any oil in the pipe where the BOVs are?
 
It depends on how much. There will be some, just because of the nature of the pcv system. The hose on the front valve cover recirculates oil vapors  back into the intake system.
